Thanks I have now installed both these mods and edited the settings.
To get rid of or at lest decrease the number of spam posts you need either moderate new users or install some kind of system that will prevent spam posts to be posted by new users
I would suggest getting the plugin "Registration Security Question" and setting the question to something that the bots/humans would have to copy and paste; aka "Please use the following as the answer: gB2!&h(h!". I have had basically 0 bots (besides the human ones which you cannot stop) register on my forums, all of the rest fail and you can even see that under the plugin's information in your admin panel.
